Log pri Brezovici (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈloːk pɾi ˈbɾeːzɔʋitsi/) is a settlement southwest of Ljubljana in central Slovenia. It is the administrative centre of the Municipality of Log-Dragomer in the Inner Carniola region.[2] The territory of the settlement is traversed by the A1 motorway, which used to have a toll plaza there.[3]
The name of the settlement was changed from Log to Log pri Brezovici (literally, 'Log near Brezovica') in 1953.[4] Before this it was often referred to as Log pri Ljubljani (literally, 'Log near Ljubljana'), and this name is often still used today.[5] [6] [7]
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Parish of Brezovica.[8]
The route of the former rail line from Brezovica pri Ljubljani to Vrhnika passes through Log pri Brezovici. The rail line was completed in 1899 and was abandoned in 1966.[9] A road overpass over the rail line was built in 1952.[10]
